peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.
Kyle Rittenhouse? At least by their own logic.
Most of January 6th traitors too.
I would rephrase that to many, far more just wielding flags, beating officers with doors etc…, but yes there were a lot of armed protestors on january 6th… and the only person that got shot was one who breached so far past where she was supposed to go that there was no rational way to prevent congress and pence etc… from getting attacked.
Also charlottesville, covid 19 armed protests (https://everytownresearch.org/report/covid-armed-protests/), etc… bottom line there’s been a hell of a lot of right wing armed protests… and one thing they all have in common… people blatently brandishing guns didn’t get shot by cops.

From 5 years ago. These guys are protesting with their guns out.

Exactly! When it’s a Rittenhouse, it’s a ‘citizen protecting property and defending themselves’, when it’s a Pretti it’s a ‘violent protester attempting to obstruct and massacre law enforcement’.
We are not the same, and they are saying it too.
Surprised she refused to answer - it’s not like she’s reluctant to flat out lie most of the time.
Because she wants people to know that you can be shot while disarmed. That just being against them means they can kill you.
Pics and video receipts, bitch
She can’t answer because they did disarm, then murdered him in cold blood,with NINE fucking shots.
They then walked away like it was a Sunday brunch and left someone else to clean their mess.
America is now run by Nazi fucking scum.
Americans are being gaslit repeatedly by people who align with a child rapist than their American citizens.
America is now run by Nazi fucking scum.
Now? They’ve only dropped their masks (figuratively).
She doesn’t need to answer. She’s a traitor.
We have multiple videos from multiple angles proving he never touched his LEGAL firearm and then was disarmed before being executed.
Traitors don’t get the benefit of the doubt. Arrest her and try her for treason, along with the executioners.
When are we going to learn that strongly worded letters and protests that turn us into a shooting gallery are not a winning strategy? How many good men and women need to get assassinated before we try something different, anything different?
Have you read any American history? This is a pattern.
I just don’t understand why good people are so prone to think letting the bully repeatedly punch them in the face will work. Some people won’t stop until they are stopped. Everyone knows this. There’s a lot of forms that can take, but blowing fucking whistles clearly isn’t it.
You’re not wrong but you’re also not volunteering to get yourself killed as well as likely hundreds if not thousands right off the bat.
Kent State was much smaller and you still ended up with iirc like 40 deaf or injured.
Open rebellion is a last resort because it’s guaranteed to come with a body count.
I’m not as well versed on that event as I would like, but isn’t that another example of a peaceful protest that turned into a shooting gallery?
Yes most of the turning points in American history have fairly high body counts.
Open rebellion is a terrible idea.
We have extensive data on how to fight the US. We just choose not to use the correct tactics.
Asymmetric is the way. Anything else is suicide.

A. I’m going to assume that’s a joke.
B. You shouldn’t say that in public, even saying such a thing is technically a crime.
Violence begets violence.
That’s a trite phase, but it’s no less true.
As soon as America meets violence with violence we’re cooked.
The line is crossed and now we wait for lawmakers to choose a side.
The rule of law OR Fascism
Support and encourage your representatives to stand up to Trump and impeach the childfucker.
Support and encourage your representatives to stand up to Trump and impeach the childfucker.
Did you forget that they already declined to prosecute him?
I feel like a broken clock with this, but you realize the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents are immune from prosecution for any acts taken in their capacity as president, which they specifically said would include assassinating political rivals, didn’t come during Trump’s second term right? It came during Biden’s term. The Supreme Court literally told him, “You could assassinate Trump and nothing would happen to you.” He refused to even pursue him for prosecution.
Democrats WILL NEVER SAVE YOU. They never have. They’re guilty of genocide, and you’re relying on an appeal to their humanity. Don’t doom yourself, organize with actual humans.
The line is crossed and now we wait for lawmakers to choose a side.
SCOTUS is owned; what law makers?
Wake up.
Criticism is easy. Why don’t you suggest a better strategy so we can criticize it?
Naturally, the solution is to interrogate the critique rather than the problem. That approach has an impressive record of success.
The 3.5% rule.
Nonviolent resistance has a higher success rate when compared to violent resistance. But non violent resistance does not mean the resistance movement will be bloodless. Authoritarians will respond to both a violent and nonviolent movement with aggression.
Yeah, that “rule” is bullshit. It’s cherry picked at best.
Edit: for those downvoting, even the wiki page says as much right at the top.
What a ugly little liar.
I know why she has all that plastic surgery, to get rid of her Pinocchio nose when she lies.
We have all met someone like them. A pleasing exterior but the soul of serial killer.
Yep that’s like 90% of the population of my hometown.
It’s clear they did. And she knows it.
In case it’s not clear republicans are not good people and should be shown nothing but scorn.
You can substitute “Republicans” for “Fascists”. They’re interchangeable now.
I think republicans is a much better moniker. It indicates exactly who we are talking about.
Your “friends” and family members. All the people who voted for and continue to support this. The people on your socials who continuously move the goalposts and argue in bad faith.

I’ll be honest, for these assholes I’d love for them to get life sentences without parole and isolated from the rest of humanity.
Nope, thanks to the power of the pardon only permanent punishments this next time around.
Actually.
This makes sense.
But I don’t think there will be another go round
Nothing lasts forever.
Could you imagine the horrors one would see in whatever hole these people get thrown into if they don’t have the chemicals to upkeep their Mar-a-lago face? They are pretty fucking disgusting looking now…and that’s with trying to not look bad. I can’t even imagine.
She’ll have a reality show on basic cable in two years from now.
Would be interesting if the put her in CECOT
No torture camps. Just swift and irreversible justice.
She’s afraid to continue lying. Odd.
She, like her boss, is incapable of speaking the truth. Pretty sure she would burst into flame if she did.
I hope those people go in front of the court to be put in prison if all this ends.
Or hanged by piano wire
Sounds lovely
She knows they fucked up. She just can’t admit they fucked up, without also having to take responsibility for what they did.
Kristi Noem is a lying liar who lies and shoots dogs
the dogs were clearly armed and ready to shoot first
